Just Separated

We just separated yesterday. I know that getting divorced is the best (healthy thing) for both of us. How do you survive the first few days? I have not been able to sleep and I keep playing the relationship in head and thinking about what I would change or what I would want him to change. Any ideas, thoughts, and/or advice??

What you are experiencing is normal. It's hard to stop replaying things in your head, but eventually you will realize that looking back doesn't do any good. You have to look forward to see where you are going. Understand where you've been and then look to where you are going.

Over time, things will get easier. The first few days are hard, but you will get past them. We've all been there, and you will get through it.

I have split up with my partner recently and i think of it this way. When i feel down I am sitting in the dark surrounded by fear and pain, but if i try to visualise a light it only starts as a tiny dot in the distance but imagine yourself walking towards the light and the closer you get the brighter it becomes then when you reach the end of the tunnel, imagine you are surrounded by bright light and all you can see are beautiful trees and flowers. It helps me but it takes a lot of concentration. hope this is of some help to you.

We have all been on the &quot;divorce diet&quot; here. Guaranteed to lose twenty pounds in a month. (Not good when you were 5'10&quot; 175 pounds) Just take one step at a time. The first few weeks for me I actually said &quot;I just gotta make it til tommorrow&quot;...and try to fill time with something to numb the pain. I drank a lot the first couple-three weeks...DID NOT HELP. Hang in there. It WILL get better.

My husband and I just separated on Friday. All I can say is that there has been a lot of crying, but what seems to help is reaching out to friends. Just hearing that people love you and want the best for you has done wonders for me these past 3 days. In a time when I feel so alone, a friend saying all the right things (or even the wrong things sometimes) has made me feel human through all of this.

I went through the same thing back in December. I would definately agree with everyone else. I would also suggest to find something you really enjoy to get lost in when you really need to get your thoughts off of it. So far I have read almost all of the Harry Potters and borrowed the first two seasons of Grey's Anatomy. Being lost in someone else's troubles seem to make me feel better. The one thing I never believed when I heard it, but fully believe now, is that this will make you a stronger person. Whether you get back together or split forever. You will find out things about yourself and what you can take. Hang in there!

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
